Acts of the Apostles
Early church history
Acts of the Apostles is a book of the New Testament chronicling the early Christian church after Jesus's ascension.
It follows the apostles—especially Peter and Paul—as they spread Christianity through the Roman world, recounting missionary journeys, miracles, persecutions, and the founding of churches.
Often called simply Acts: We're studying Acts this semester.
